2005 HONDA PILOT Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that shortly after refueling, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration, causing the speed to increase to approximately 45 MPH while approaching stopped traffic. While pressing the brake pedal to avoid a collision, the vehicle continued to accelerate and crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. During the air bag deployment, the air was deflated, causing the driver's head to contact the steering wheel. Also, the contact indicated that metal fragments were present during the air bag deployment. The contact sustained a lacerated left wrist and lacerations to the chest area. The driver also sustained contusions and bruised to the head, ankles, and legs, along with neck and back stiffness, which will all require medical treatment. No other injuries were known regarding the second vehicle occupants. A Police Report was taken at the scene, and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

Airbag is deactivated due to failure of both crash sensors on the vehicle. Replacement parts are on national backorder.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 Honda Pilot. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V344000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall was unavailable. The contact called the local dealer and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Airbag tensioner seatbelt light is on (red one); AKA, SRS (supplemental restraint system) Dealership pulled codes 41-11 and 42-11, which are the front left and right impact sensors. They said the impact sensors "appear to be okay". but the main SRS computer unit control modular is "not working properly". The car has 137,000 miles on it and has not been in an accident and the light came on immediately when I started my car after it sat for a day without driving it. I live in rural area where no one could have tampered with my car. The dealership was perplexed and said they have seen this happen a lot recently and believe it is a defect in the SRS unit. The impact sensors are fine but the codes are being thrown for impact sensors, not the SRS unit; which they said if I paid 1,000 dollars (might) resolve the impact sensors error... if not, then I would have to pay another 900 for parts/labor to do the sensors as well. THIS IS A MANUFACTOR DEFECT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS I CALLED MANY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE WARRANTIED AS A SAFETY HAZARD... Honda will not yet acknowledge that me or my family could be killed because their computer SRS unit malfunctions. I will continue to support and buy only HONDA but I NEED this to be warrantied and replaced no cost out of my pocket. Please issue a recall or honor the repair cost IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL I REACHED OUT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FREMONT, CA ON AUGUST 1ST 2016 IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL. DEALERSHIP MENTIONED THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PART IN STOCK BUT WILL CALL BACK AS SOON ITS AVAILABLE. IT IS MORE THAN 90 DAYS BUT NO INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE 8/24/16 AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART.

I WAS MOVING LESS THAN FIVE MPH AS I STARTED TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN IN A PARKING LOT. A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA MOVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH STRUCK MY VEHICLE BROADSIDE AT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY AND RESULTING IN DAMAGE CAUSING MY HONDA PILOT TO BE DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. DESPITE THIS LEVEL OF IMPACT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE OR ACTIVATE IN ANY WAY.. I DELIBERATELY LOOKED FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN SHOPPING FOR A REPLACEMENT TO OUR PREVIOUS VEHICLE. A MAJOR REASON I CHOSE THE 2005 HONDA PILOT EXL-DVD WAS THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS. HOWEVER WHEN I WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH ENOUGH FORCE THAT THE PILOT WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS THE SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THIS FAILURE TO DEPLOY THEREBY CAUSING MY HEAD TO IMPACT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FRAME HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A LARGE LUMP ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD AND RESULTING IN CONCUSSION AND OTHER INJURIES. SOME OF THE INJURIES ARE PERMANENT AND I AM STILL IN SEVERE PAIN AND BEING TREATED BY MULTIPLE DOCTORS EIGHTEEN MONTHS AFTER THE COLLISION WITH NO IMPROVEMENT NOR ANY CURRENT OUTLOOK FOR RECOVERY! I NOW HAVE A PERMANENT HEARING LOSS AS WELL AS TINNITUS PREVENTING ME FROM HAVING EVEN A FEW MINUTES OF PEACE & QUIET! WHILE THE ACCIDENT WAS THE FAULT OF THE DRIVER THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND "T-BONED" MY CAR, HAD THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED I STRONGLY FEEL IT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED MY HEAD FROM THE SEVERE IMPACT WITH THE METAL FRAME OF THE HONDA PILOT AND I WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS IN PAIN SEVERE ENOUGH TO PREVENT ME FROM HAVING A NORMAL LIFE! MANY DAYS THE PAIN HAS KEPT ME IN BED FOR MOST OF THE DAY AS WELL AS KEEPING ME FROM SLEEPING AT NIGHT!

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY CHANGED THE DRIVERS AIR BAG AND YESTERDAY I GET THE RECALL LETTER FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG! KNOWING THE DANGERS DO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHY DID THEY NOT REPLACE BOTH DO THEM?

TAKATA RECALL... PLEASE NOTE MY CAR WAS UP TO DATE ON ALL SERVICE RECALLS FOR MY 2005 HONDA PILOT. ON MAY 13, 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE BOTH VEHICLES WERE COMPLETELY TOTALLED. I WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR (AT A ANGLE APPROX WHERE THE FIREWALL IS LOCATED) ALL THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY WHICH EVERYONE ASSISTING WITH THE ACCIDENT FROM THE FIREMEN, POLICEMEN, EMTS, AND HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES COMMENTED ON IN SURPRISE. THE OTHER CAR HIT MINE SO HARD THAT MY CAR ENDED UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE IMPACT CAUSED THE OTHER VEHICLE TO FISHTAIL AND RESULTED IN HIS RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL MAKING CONTACT WITH MY LEFT QUARTER PANEL AS WELL. MY VEHICLE'S FLOOR BUCKLED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS SO DAMAGED THAT THE FIREMEN HAD TO PRY IT OPEN TO EXTRACT ME. THIS HAPPENED WHILE BOTH CARS WERE IN MOTION ON A MAIN STREET. I WAS STRUCK BY THE OTHER VEHICLE AFTER TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN EXITING FROM A HIGHWAY.

FIRST ISSUE. HONDA IS FAILING TO MAKE PROPER NOTIFICATIONS CONCERNING RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTEES. A WARRANTEE EXTENSION NOTICE FOR MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD WAS FORWARDED TO ME BY THE PERSON ACROSS TOWN WHO RECEIVED MY NOTICE. LAST YEAR THE SAME PERSON FORWARDED TO ME A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE HE RECEIVED FOR MY 2005 HONDA PILOT. I PURCHASED MY 2005 HONDA PILOT DIRECT FROM HONDA AND MY ACCORD FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. BOTH VEHICLES ARE IN THE HONDA SERVICE DATA BASE WITH MY CORRECT NAME, ADDRESS, AND VIN. I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THAT ADDRESS, AND THE RESIDENT THERE DOES NOT HAVE MY NAME OR ANY HONDA VEHICLES. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA SERVICE AND THE HONDA RECALL CENTER ABOUT THIS. YET, IN MARCH THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WITH MY 2009 HONDA ACCORD. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE ON MY 2010 HONDA ACCORD (PURCHASED FROM A HONDA DEALER), WHICH, ACCORDING TO THE NOTICE, IS PART OF THE CLASS OF VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTEE. HONDA'S NATIONAL SERVICE CENTER COULD NOT EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE MISTAKE OCCURRED AND COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THEIR RECORDS WOULD BE CORRECTED FOR PURPOSES OF SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS SINCE HONDA HAS HAD MY INFORMATION CORRECT IN THEIR SERVICE CENTER DATABASE. SECOND ISSUE: MY NOTICE OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE ON 2008-2010 ACCORDS IS FOR A CORROSION ISSUE WITH AN INTERNAL COMPONENT IN THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN SRS FAILURE. THE NOTICE STATED THAT IF THE DASHBOARD SRS LIGHT ALERTS YOU TO AN ISSUE, YOU NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION ASAP. THE SRS LIGHT IN MY 2005 HONDA PILOT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. HONDA SAID IT IS NOT COVERED, BUT THEY WOULD DIAGNOSE IT FOR $120/HR + REPAIRS. FOR PURPOSES OF VEHICLE SAFETY, CAN YOUR OFFICE DETERMINE IF THE OLDER HONDA PILOTS HAVE THE SAME SRS ECU ISSUE AS THE 2008-2010 HONDA ACCORD, AND THUS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL?

THIS VEHICLE WHICH NEVER HAS HAD A PROBLEM WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL TO THE HONDA DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD ~170K MILES. WITHIN WEEKS OF THE EVENT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPAIR. THE DEALER ADVISES THAT BOTH FRONT BUMPER AIR BAG SENSORS SIMULTANEOUSLY WENT BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT IN ANYWAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL WORK. I DON'T BUY IT AND SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME IDENTICAL CHALLENGE SHORTLY AFTER RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. I AM CERTAIN A AUTHORIZED REPLACEMENT PART INCOMPATIBILITY EXISTS OR A PRESCRIBED REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE IS FLAWED. THIS IS SIMILAR TO 10CFR PART 21 SAFETY RELATED ISSUE IN US COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR POWER REGULATIONS THAT I WORK IN AND MUST BE ACTED UPON BY THE NTSB. THE AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM WAS RETURNED NON-FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OF MY REFUSAL TO PAY THE DEALER NEARLY $500 FOR REPAIRS I KNOW THE PROCESS IS ABSOLUTELY ACCOUNTABLE FOR INDUCING. THE REPLACEMENT IS NOT A LIKE-FOR-LIKE COMPATIBLE UNIT OR THE DEALERS ARE NOT INSTALLING THE REPLACEMENTS CORRECTLY PUTTING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AT SUDDEN SAFETY RISK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT 70 MPH.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL, THE DEALER SAID THE SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $200. I HAD THAT DONE AND THE SECOND DAY FOLLOWING, IT WAS ON AGAIN. IT INTERMITTENTLY LIT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. NOW IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON. I SEE SIMILAR ISSUES LISTED. GOD FORBID THEY DON'T WORK WHEN I NEED THEM. NOT THRILLED WITH THE PILOT. TRANSMISSION LIGHT ALSO INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS (BLINKING D). I HAD THIS FIXED YEARS AGO AFTER THE DEALER SAID NEW TRANS FOR $3,000. I DIDN'T BITE ON THAT ONE BECAUSE THE SHIFTING WAS SEEMLESS. SEEMS THAT MECHANICS MAYBE RELY ON COMPUTER TOO MUCH. HAD SWITCH CHANGED OUT AND IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. NOW IT'S ON INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN. TIRE PRESSURE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. ELECTRONICS STINK!

I DID NOT HAVE AN INCIDENT. I AM JUST REPORTING THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR REPLACED IN MY HONDA PILOT AT A MILEAGE OF 204,000. AFTER READING THROUGH ONLINE FORUMS, SEVERAL OTHER HONDA PILOT OWNERS REPORTED AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING DURING ACCIDENTS AND PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAG SENSORS. WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, I ASKED IF THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE REPORTED TO HONDA. THE MANAGER TOLD ME NO IT WOULDN'T. I ASKED HOW THEY KEPT TRACK OF PROBLEMS THEN IF THEY DIDN'T MONITOR COMMON REPAIRS AND PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. HE SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW AND DIDN'T KNOW WHO I SHOULD CONTACT. THIS REPAIR WAS $220 IN AUGUST OF 2015. THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT INDICATOR WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD FOR WELL OVER A YEAR, MAYBE TWO YEARS UNTIL WE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. I THINK HONDA SHOULD INCLUDE THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM IN A RECALL!

I WAS PARKING , WHEN THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD, I HIT THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED GOING ONTO THE PAVEMENT OF THE SHOPPING CENTRE, BREAKING TWO SIDES OF A BRICK PILLAR. BOTH SIDES OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR DOORS WERE DESTROYED AND THE MAIN FRONT, THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS, NEVER CAME OUT. *TR

Mileage: 98,000

IT WAS A THREE CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS IN THE MIDDLE WAITING BEHIND ANOTHER CAR FOR A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE ROAD. HONDA ODYSSEY COMING FROM BEHIND IN THE OTHER LANE, CHANGED THE LANE AND REAR-ENDED MY CAR AT ~15 MPH. MY CAR HIT THE FRONT CAR. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE CAR THAT REAR-ENDED ME WITH SUBSTANTIAL ENGINE DAMAGE. DRIVER IN MY CAR ALONG WITH PASSENGER IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT GOT A VERTICAL LIFT WITH SEATBELT CONSTRAINTS HOLDING THEM IN PLACE. MY CAR'S AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH IS MY PRIMARY CONCERN AT THIS POINT. I HAVE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA PILOT ABOUT DRIVERS FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT TOO IN THE CURRENT GENERATION OF HONDA PILOT? I HAVE THIS INCIDENT NOTED DOWN WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. I WANT TO LOG IN THIS COMPLAINT HERE, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT IGNORING OR MISSING ON ANOTHER RECALL AT THE COST OF GETTING HUMANS INJURED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

MY CAR IS PART OF AN AIRBAG RECALL BY HONDA. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. THE MIAMI HONDA DEALERSHIPS I HAVE APPROACHED ARE SOUTH MOTORS AND BRAHMAN HONDA. THEY HAVE BEEN TOTALLY UNCOOPERATIVE AND HAVE SETUP SYSTEMS TO GIVE CUSTOMERS THE RUN AROUND. I UNDERSTAND THAT PLACE WITH HOT, HUMID CLIMATE LIKE FLORIDA, ARE AT HIGHER RISK FOR AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THESE DEALERSHIPS ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL DO TO ENFORCE THIS MANDATE. I WILL BE WILLING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE COURT OR TESTIFY IF NEEDED. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS SENSOR FAILED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON HONDA PILOTS AND HONDAS MUST RECALL AND REPLACE ALL SENSORS FREE OF CHARGE. THEY CHARGE $400 PER SENSOR. *TR

NOTIFIED OF RECALL FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE. MATTER HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V700000 (AIR BAGS) AND 14V351000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD BE COVERED AND REPLACED UNDER NHTSA RECALL 14V-700, MFR RECALL JM3 WHICH STATES THAT ANY VEHICLE EVER REGISTERED IN THE DESIGNATED HIGH HUMIDITY STATES, WHICH INCLUDES GEORGIA, IS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. WHILE CURRENTLY A RESIDENT OF NORTH CAROLINA WE WERE PREVIOUSLY RESIDENTS OF GEORGIA WHERE THIS VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED. AS SUCH I CONTACTED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHO STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS COVERED BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNIT. I AGAIN ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEY SAID NO BUT TO CONTINUE TO WATCH FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS. I THEN CONTACTED HONDA'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND OPENED A CASE INDICATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED IN GEORGIA AND REQUESTED THEY REPLACE IT AS A HAZARD AS DEFINED IN THE HONDA AND NHTSA RECALL. A WEEK LATER THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE UNIT UNDER THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO EXPLANATION. I RECENTLY SENT AN EMAIL TO THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER REGARDING MY CONCERNS AND REQUESTING THEY HONOR THE RECALL BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT THEY WOULD CHANGE ONE SIDE DEEMED A SAFETY HAZARD BUT LEAVE THE PASSENGER IN A POTENTIALLY LETHAL SITUATION WHEN BOTH UNITS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE SAME HIGH HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE HOUSE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE ANALYZED THE PROBLEM THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT TALKING WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. NO BLOWN FUSES NO OTHER ISSUES NOTED WITH SENSORS OTHER THAN FAILED AIRBAG CONTROL COMPUTER UNIT. *TR

Mileage: 164,000

THE PRESSURE SWITCH IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS BROKEN...IT GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON, WITH LIGHT COMING ON AT THE DASHBOARD. WE HAVE HAD THE AIRBAG CHECKED 3 TIMES, TWICE BY OUR MECHANIC, ONCE BY THE DEALER, AND THEY SAY IT'S FINE. THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS MAL-FUNCTIONING. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE $300-$400 TO TAKE APART THE SEAT AND REPLACE THE SWITCH...CANNOT AFFORD IT. *TR

Mileage: 68,000

I CONTACTED 2 HONDA DEALERSHIPS (SOUTH MOTORS AND BRAHMAN HONDA) ABOUT MY AIRBAG RECALL. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS AND DAYS OF TRYING TO SET AN APPOINTMENT, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL SAYING THAT I WILL BE CONTACTED FOR AN APPOINTMENT SOON. THIS WAS OVER 2 WEEKS AGO. I LIVE IN MIAMI, WHERE THE CHANCES OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING IS GREATER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE STATES. I DRIVE IN FEAR EACH DAY THAT MY AIRBAG WILL GO OFF, KILLING ME AND MY FAMILY. IT SEEMS THAT THESE DEALERSHIPS AND HONDA ONLY CARE ABOUT CAR SALES, BUT DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS, WHEN THEIR PRODUCT HAS DEFECTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,731.

Mileage: 32,731

HONDA HAS REFUSED FOR OVER A MONTH TO ANSWER WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR ITS AIR BAGS. I HAVE ASKED HOW THEY KNOW MY VEHICLE DOES NOT NEED TO BE RECALLED WHEN VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR ALREADY HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CERTAIN REGIONS OF THE US. THEY WILL NOT ANSWER WHETHER MY CAR IS SAFE OR NOT. I HAVE ASKED THAT THEY REMOVE AT THEIR EXPENSE MY AIR BAGS TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE UNSAFE, A REQUEST THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED. THE PERSON WHO LAST CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE FROM HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NOW FAILED TO RETURN MY CALLS ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS. BASED ON PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH MY DEALER AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE RECENT FAILURE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE TO RETURN MY CALLS, I FEEL AS IF I AM BEING STONEWALLED BY HONDA, WHO SEEMS UNWILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FLAWED, ALBEIT COST-SAVING DESIGN, BY ONE OF ITS SUPPLIERS. *TR

HONDA PILOT WAS SERVICED AT ED VOYLES HONDA ON 10/22 AND PICKED UP ON 10/23. EXTENSIVE SERVICE PERFORMED ON CAR...TIMING BELT, TRANSMISSION, AIR BAGS REPLACED PER RECALL, ENGINE MOUNTS REPLACED, OIL CHANGED, ETC. PICKED UP CAR ON 10/23. ON 10/24 BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND PUT CAR IN DRIVE GEAR. CAR ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME PUTTING FOOT ON ACCELERATION. COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE. ACCELERATION CONTINUED AND INCREASED. ONLY WAY TO STOP CAR WAS TO RUN INTO A TREE. NOT SURE IF CAUSED BY RECENT WORK OR I HAVE READ NOW THAT 2005 HONDA PILOTS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH UNPROVOKED ACCELERATION. USAA INSURANCE COMPANY HAS TOTALED CAR AND CAR IS AT JUNK YARD NOW. *TR

THE FRONT RIGHT AIRBAG SENSOR REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. LAST MONTH, MY MECHANIC RESET IT. HE SAID HE'D LOOK FURTHER IF IT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. IT DID. BUT I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER. I FELT THIS WAS TOO IMPORTANT AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE FRONT RIGHT SENSOR AND IT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. COST TO ME WAS $300. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE RELIABLE AND NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR NOT NEW, BUT WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. INCIDENTALLY, HONDA SERVICE REPS SAID THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF I HAD A TAKATA SRS SYSTEM, BUT THAT IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT RECALLED. I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN IT IS THE SAME SYSTEM FROM NEWS REPORTS, AND THINK IT SHOULD BE REPLACED - BUT THAT'S A SEPARATE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INDICATE WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY TO EXPAND THE AIR BAG RECALL NATIONALLY, AS IT IS A MATTER OF HIGHEST CONCERN TO AMERICANS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES. ALL AMERICANS AFFECTED DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLE AIR BAGS REPLACED, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE.

RECALL SUBJECT: PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE. REPORT RECEIPT DATE: JUNE 20, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V353000 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL: HONDA PILOT 2003-2005 MY 2005 HONDA PILOT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD AND IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA. GIVEN THAT TAKATA HAS ADMITTED TO U.S. SAFETY REGULATORS THAT IT IMPROPERLY STORED CHEMICALS AND FAILED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PROPELLANTS USED IN THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ALONG WITH FAULTY RECORD KEEPING AS TO WHICH CARS WERE DEFECTIVE, I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO HAVE DEGRADED INFLATORS CAUSING THEM TO EXPLODE AND SPRAYING PIECES OF METAL INTO THE CABIN OF THE CAR. RECALL SUBJECT: DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE. REPORT RECEIPT DATE: JUNE 20, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL: HONDA PILOT 2003-2007 MY 2005 HONDA PILOT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFORMATION IS SIMILARLY SITUATED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFORMATION. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REMEDY THIS DEATH AND/OR DISMEMBERMENT HAZARD BY CONTACTING HONDA DIRECTLY WITH NO SUCCESS. MY ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER, AS FOUND ON THE CAR WINDOW WHEN PURCHASED, INDICATES "PARTS CONTENT INFORMATION" "JAPAN 10%". THE CONCEALMENT AND NON-DISCLOSURE OF SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECTS AND FAILURE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS IS NOT MERELY AN INCONVENIENCE FOR ME BUT A SERIOUS HEALTH THREAT. *TR

ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER OF 2011 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 HONDA PILOT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND A COLLISION OCCURRED (T-BONE). TO BY DISBELIEF THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A FEW WEEKS LATER I ASKED AN EMPLOYEE OF A HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING AND HE INDICATED TO ME THAT INSIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER THERE IS A GOLD BALL AND BEFORE THE AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY IT MUST HAVE A DIRECT CENTER HIT WITH ANOTHER OBJECT. IN MY OPINION THE HIT FROM THE ACCIDENT WAS ABOUT AS DIRECT AS YOU CAN GET IT. I BELIEVE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A DEFECT OF THE AIRBAG FOR NOT DEPLOYING. *TR

Mileage: 120,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON WET PAVEMENT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A EMBANKMENT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, SHOULDER AND THUMB WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR DETERMINED THAT THE IMPACT OF THE AIR BAG CAUSED THE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SUDDENLY, OUR SRS DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. AFTER LOOKING AT THE OWNER'S MANUAL, WE PROMPTLY SET-UP A SERVICE APPT AT HONDA TO DIAGNOSE/FIX THE PROBLEM AS IT RELATES TO AN IMPORTANT VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURE. IN THE MEANTIME, A FAMILY MEMBER WHO WORKS IN THE AUTO REPAIR INDUSTRY USED HIS COMPUTER TO PULL THE CODES AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO WE WOULD KNOW WHAT HONDA SERVICE SHOULD BE TELLING US AT THE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING AN ERROR CODE OF 42-11 FOR THE FRONT IMPACT AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE SUDDEN MALFUNCTION. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION OF BOTH FRONT SENSORS, THE YELLOW PROTECTIVE SHEATH HAS PULLED BACK FROM THE SENSOR, LEAVING THE JUNCTION WHERE THE WIRES MEET THE SENSOR EXPOSED LOW IN THE ENGINE, AND THUS CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR DEBRIS AND WEATHER TO IMPACT THEIR PERFORMANCE. IN DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS HONDA PILOT OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SENSORS AND HONDA IS CHARGING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD AMONG THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG SENSORS WILL NOT ALLOW AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE SEE THE LINK BELOW FOR JUST SOME OF THE OWNERS WHO HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS ISSUE IN AN ONLINE FORUM: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/HONDA/PILOT/AIR_BAGS/PROBLEM.ASPX. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG DOES NOT WORK. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS LIT. FIRST INTERMITTENTLY, NOW CONSTANTLY. WAS DIAGNOSED ($120 AT BURNS HONDA FOR TAKING A READING OFF ON-BOARD COMPUTER) TO BE A FAULTY RIGHT-FRONT IMPACT SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP IS OUT OF THE PART, SO I NEED TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE SHIPPED. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE SENSOR JUST STOPPED WORKING (RUSTED OUT?). THE SAME THING HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MONTHS PRIOR WITH A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. DO HONDA'S ELECTRONICS PARTS HAVE OPERATIONAL LIFE OF 100,000 MILES? I FEEL THE AIRBAG SENSORS SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND REPLACED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. *JS

Mileage: 102,000

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH,NOR HAVE AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYED. BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER AND, AFTER $115 DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WAS TOLD RIGHT FRONT SENSOR BEHIND BUMPER "WENT BAD". CHARGE TO REPLACE 1 SENSOR IS OVER $400, ALTHOUGH DEALER WILL WAIVE DIAGNOSTIC TEST FEE. AFTER SEEING MANY PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM, SEEMS HONDA SHOULD ISSUE RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 103,400

WITH THE SRS INDICATOR CONSTANTLY ON, THE DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT BOTH FRONT BUMPER CRASH SENSORS MUST BE REPLACED. HE MENTIONED THAT DUE TO THEIR POSITION THEY HAVE A TENDENCY OF RUSTING OUT. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN DEFICIENCY. *TR

Mileage: 91,000

I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $350.00. THERE ARE TOO MANY DOCUMENTED INCIDENTS WHERE THE 2005 HONDA PILOT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS NO IMPACT. WE AS CONSUMERS NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR TO HONDA THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED. *JS

Mileage: 240,000

RECENTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS NOT GOING OFF, TOOK IT IN FOR A "$98.90 DIAGNOSIS" FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THERE IS NO SIGNAL FROM EITHER IMPACT SENSOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD IT WILL COST ME $477.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, $127 FOR PARTS AND $350 FOR LABOR, I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS HAVE EVER DEPLOYED, I HOPE I NEVER DO. YOU NEED TO FIX THIS HONDA! MAKE THE RIGHT CALL AND RECALL THE 2005 PILOT FOR THIS ISSUE PLEASE! *TR

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL ON OTHER PARTS AND WE TOLD THEM THE AIRBAG SAFETY RESTRAINT LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE WERE TOLD THE DIAGNOSIS WOULD COST 38 DOLLARS PLUS TAX. THEY DIAGNOSED FAULTY LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS. THEY TOLD US IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS ITEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT OUR EXPENSE. AFTER MUCH OBJECTION THEY SAID " SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT". WITH THAT WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AT A LATER DATE AND PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. THE DEALER SENT US ON OUR WAY KNOWING IF WE CRASHED, ESPECIALLY IN A FRONT END IMPACT, THE AIRBAGS ON THEIR PRODUCT THEY SOLD TO US AS "SAFE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY" WOULD NOT DEPLOY. UNACCEPTABLE!!

THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND LANDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE CONTACT SUFFERED MULTIPLE FRACTURES OF THE LUMBAR SPINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT IS THE OPDS SEAT SENSOR AND FAULTY POWER SUPPLY. THIS WILL COST ME $989.00 ON TOP OF THE $81.00 I PAID TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT DIAGNOSED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE CAR OF THIS. *TR

Mileage: 102,000

NO ACCIDENT AND AIR BAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER WAS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN MOST RECENTLY THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON THE DASHBOARD. FROM READING THE COMPLAINTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE SENSOR/ WIRING IS FAULTY AND I'M GOING TO BE STUCK WITH ANOTHER PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE BILL AND MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY UNTIL I AM ABLE TO PAY HONDA FOR THEIR PART AND LABOR. NOW THAT'S AN OFFER ONE CAN'T REFUSE. *TR

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS WITH ME DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ADDITIONALLY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING (SHE DRIVES IT THE MOST). I STARTED THE VEHICLE, PLACED IT IN GEAR AND STARTED TO DRIVE IT UP THE STREET. AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I GLANCED AT THE SPEEDOMETER, AND NOTICED THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED AND SRS LIGHT ON. THIS PUZZLED ME BECAUSE WE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN REGULAR MAINTENANCE LIGHTS (FILTERS, OIL CHANGE, ETC). I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. AFEW WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THIS TIME I NOTICED IT RIGHT AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DRIVING OFF. THINKING IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE GLITCH IN THE IGNITION, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME, THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON. THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED, IT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME I DROVE AND TO AND FROM THE GROCERY STORE. NOW, IT PRETTY MUCH DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY - CYCLING INTERMITTENT TO STEADY AT VARIOUS TIMES. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR RECALLS, I READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM DRIVERS IN VARIOUS STATES (USA), THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE VOICED IT TO HONDA BUT THEY HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL; THUS STATING THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. INSTEAD HONDA DEALERS ARE WILLING TO CHARGE APPROX. $120 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND $300+ FOR REPAIR - WHICH IS ENTIRELY UNFAIR TO US CONSUMERS. HOWEVER HONDA, ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH HAD VERY SIMILAR (IF NOT EXACT) PROBLEMS WITH ITS SRS. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORISTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

SRS LIGHT REMAINED ON. PAID $119 T HONDA TO DO DIAGNOSIS [THEY WON'T DO IT WITHOUT PAYING THE FEE]. RESULTS SAID THAT IT'S A FAILED LEFT SIDE FRONT SENSOR. DEALER ASKING FOR $285 ON TOP OF THE FEE. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS HERE, HONDA SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS THIS MIGHT BE A POTENTIAL RECALL AS ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY PILOT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO NO CAUSE FOR THE SENSOR TO BE DEFECTIVE OTHER THAN POOR DESIGN/WORKMANSHIP AND HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND SAFETY. *TR

DEALER INDICATED THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2005 HONDA PILOT. ALSO NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE 2005 HONDA PILOT? A DEVICE CRITICAL TO THE OVERALL SAFETY SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS NOT A WEAR ITEM ON THE VEHICLE, SHOULD NOT FAIL. IF IT DOES, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

I WOULD THINK SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THERE WAS SOME RECALL ? THEY TOLD ME IF I WAS HIT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK. NOT TO MENTION I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN 2009! THE CAR WAS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 45 MPH DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD. A 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY TRAVELING AT 50 MPH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TURNED INTO MY LANE. THE DRIVER HIT THE LEFT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WITHOUT BRAKING. THE IMPACT FORCED MY PILOT ONTO TWO WHEELS COMING DOWN ON THE FRONT HOOD OF HER CAR. THE IMPACT FORCED ME FROM THE ROAD THROUGH A DITCH, I HIT A CONCRETE CULVERT WITH THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHICH SENT MY ENTIRE VEHICLE AIRBORNE. I LANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A GRAVEL ROAD AND CONTINUED INTO A YARD WHERE I SHEARED OFF TWO UTILITY POLE SUPPORT WIRES. THE IMPACT DESTROYED THE LEFT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, BREAKING ALL OF THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE SWAY BAR AND CONTROL ARMS. IT ALSO DID SUSPENSION DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE.

I DRIVE A 2005 HONDA PILOT. MY SAFETY RESTRAINT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS AGO. UPON CHECKING WITH THE DEALER, THE SYSTEM AIRBAG CONTACTS WERE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THANKFULLY, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERS REPAIR, WHICH IS COSTLY. MY COLLEAGUE ALSO DRIVES A 2005 HONDA (ELEMENT) AND HAD THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON WITHIN TWO DAYS OF MINE. HE DOESN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE COINCIDENCE IS TOO MUCH. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINTS ON 2005 HONDAS. OTHERS MUST BE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 HONDA PILOT. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF A CRASH. I HAD TO INITIALLY PAY 100 DOLLARS JUST TO GET THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND NOW I AM HAVING TO WAIT UP TO 2 MONTHS FOR THE PART THAT IS BACKORDERED. I AM VERY SCARED THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN AND I WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. *TR

BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT AIRBAG SENSORS FOR MY 2005 HONDA PILOT EXL FAILED SIX MONTHS APART. IN THE FIRST CASE, IN FEBRUARY 2009, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING BACK TO PENNSYLVANIA FROM NORTH CAROLINA. EXAMINATION AT THE HONDA DEALER IN PA DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE TWO FRONT SENSORS HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE UNIT WAS REPLACED. SIX MONTHS LATER THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OTHER SENSOR FAILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS CORROSION AND AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. IN BOTH CASES, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT HAVE OPERATED HAD THEIR BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE FAILURES WERE, "JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS". HAVING WORKED WITH PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN THE PAST AND HAVING WORKED WITH NEARLY ALL AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES (INCLUDING TOYOTA AND HONDA IN JAPAN), I DOUBTED THIS EXPLANATION. THESE WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND SEALED SENSORS AND CORROSION/FAILURE WAS INEVITABLE. THIS IS A RARE FAILURE IF THE COMPONENTS ARE MANUFACTURED PROPERLY. *TR

WANTED TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR ON MY HONDA PILOT 2005 NEEDS REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE PART IS ON BACKORDER WITH UNKNOWN AVAILABILITY. WITHOUT BEING REPLACED I WAS INFORMED THAT NONE OF MY VEHICLES AIRBAGS WILL WORK CURRENTLY. ALSO HE STATED THAT HE HAS HAD TO ORDER 3 IN THE LAST WEEK FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FROM THAT DEALERSHIP ALONE. SHOULD THIS BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL?
